About this ebook
""Moon Shrinks Slowly"" explores the fascinating reality of lunar contraction, revealing how our Moon is gradually shrinking due to its cooling interior since its formation. This process causes wrinkles and cracks on the lunar surface, forming fault scarps that offer visual evidence of this geological activity. NASA missions have provided crucial data, highlighting that the Moon isn't geologically dead but a dynamic world. This book emphasizes that lunar contraction is an ongoing process, supported by high-resolution imagery from missions like the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter.
It begins by introducing lunar geology basics, then systematically builds its argument by analyzing fault scarps, modeling the Moon's thermal history, and examining moonquakes. Understanding these processes has implications for future lunar exploration, resource utilization, and even our understanding of other rocky bodies in our solar system.
